Rehearsal #9 Notes (5/2)

Nothing to give from last night on the blocking...it's dialing in nicely and the pace is starting to get much better. Once we get off book, that should make the pace even better.

I did catch a lot of paraphrasing last night, which is not too significant at this point, but make sure you are going over ALL of your lines; even those you think you have down pat. Have someone watching the script for you while you recite your lines and have them stop you when you make a mistake.

Next week, I'll start correcting dialogue that is grossly wrong, and the week of the 16th, I'll start correcting all but the smallest mistakes, which can really slow down a rehearsal.

Tonight we'll run Act II, and will repeat it until we run out of time. There are no conflicts I'm aware of for tonight, so Cheryl and I should be able to keep an eye on blocking instead of reading other parts. Let's also all be on time so we can start right at 7.

FINALLY: We MAY be doing a publicity photo shoot for the show at some point tomorrow night. If so, I will need you in some sort of a costume appropriate for your character. I'll let you know tonight if those plans have been finalized.
